Baltimore, MD — Moodlerooms, Inc., leading provider of a reliable, secure and scalable learning management platform (LMP) with open-source Moodle at the core, and iParadigms LLC, creators of pioneering Web-based services for collaborative educational support, today announced a partnership to integrate Moodlerooms’ enterprise learning management platform with iParadigms’ Turnitin and GradeMark services.
Moodlerooms clients with Turnitin and GradeMark subscriptions will have the capability to manage assignments using Turnitin, the world’s leading plagiarism prevention service, and GradeMark, a digital mark-up and grading tool, directly within a course in their Moodlerooms’ LMP. Turnitin helps ensure students are aware of and held to the highest standards regarding proper research and citation. GradeMark then provides a rich set of tools for clear mark-ups, custom feedback and standardized rubrics.
“We are dedicated to providing the best tools and features to help enhance the education process,” says Moodlerooms CEO Martin Knott. “This collaborative integration certainly does that. Turnitin is the world’s leading tool to help educators ensure academic integrity, and GradeMark offers a unique, paperless approach to delivering substantive feedback to students on their written work. We are very happy to be able to offer our customers access to both Turnitin and GradeMark.”
Through its recently announced mPower Program, Moodlerooms now offers Turnitin and GradeMark plus a robust selection of other rich features (some of which are exclusive to Mooodlerooms) that are available from a growing list of partners.
“Many of our Turnitin customers are opting for the openness and flexibility offered by Moodlerooms’ learning management platform,” says Sally Elliott, Chief Operating Officer at iParadigms. “Moodlerooms offers industry-leading standards of integration services to educational institutions who want to use Turnitin and Moodle together.”
